Thank you for submitting your photo to DPChallenge, Free Study VII.
Great capture of a empty boardwalk area on Staten Island, N.Y.
Where are the people? It must real cold and real late night. You have some terrific points of reference. The bridge in the background, which I believe is the Verranzano Bridge? The other reference point is the lamp post banner. Which proudly states "I love NYC".
Technically a few comments. The lamp posts lights are a bit overwhelming. As well as the lights in the round covered area to the right of the frame. Bringing or changing the exposure compensation to a lower level, might have given the scene a softer tone. I also like the blueish shine that the light source provides. Again a little less light, would given it more appeal. It tends to create a distraction, and dull the details in the image. It also appears a little unbalance from the foreground on back. Saving the camera settings would have been key to knowing what works as well. This would be valuable information if and when you would want to reshoot.
I know its a pain, but a tripod on a night settings always helps the situation. If a tripod is not available, try a standing flat object to shoot from. Another approach to consider is converting this image to a black and white photo. This would create a somber and artistic mood. One that would reflect the empty boardwalk, and the quiet of a NYC night.
Good job, and good luck on your next DPChallenge.

| interesting image. the lights are just a hair too strong, taking away from what could be a very inviting atmosphere. this looks like it could offer a lot of shooting opportunities, especially to capture some reflections off the water at night. good luck! |

| Unique lighting, but I would find it more interesting with people in the picture, or something else to focus your interest. |
